about
To the staunch female activists, unionists, and revolutionaries of past and present.
'Let Them' alludes to the French Revolutionary period, and to Marie Antionette's death by guillotine in 1793.
Also referenced is William Buckland, a highly eccentric theologian and paleontologist in the Victorian Era, who allegedly ate the mummified heart of King Louis XIV at a dinner party. The story goes that he proclaimed "I have eaten many strange things, but I have never eaten the heart of a king before.”
lyrics
Let them eat the cake that poison made
Let them suffer in their gluttony
Let them choke on the ramifications
Of their apathy
At the altar of the workers
They will burn
I've got an appetite
Like William Buckland
And so do the rest of them
We're coming for your hearts
Then our dogs will chew your bones
We're choking on your coal dust
We'll build this pyre strong
At the altar of the workers
They will burn
Die like Marie
